stonepicnicking_okapi: cinnamon (cinnmon)
I like coffee and I am always interested in trying seasonal blends.

So I did this collage with the bag of Saint Patrick's Day coffee. And, to make it murder-y, I did a fill for [community profile] dick_or_treat with BBC Sherlock's Sebastian Moran and our favorite Irishman Jim Moriarty in Chicago on Saint Patrick's Day roleplaying the parade scene from the film The Fugitive. Seb is assigned to murder the Sausage King of Chicago. Note: chapter 1 is just plot and the porn is in chapter 2.

Come join in for fun, memes, activities, and more ♥


so for 3 Weeks 4 Dreamwidth

1. I usually post craft photos on Fridays on my DW journal and most of the time it's collage (I also cross stitch and do kits and miniature rooms).

2. Your prompt for today, if you want one, is items from my collage: saints, green, windows, and coffee.

Prompt #1 for my celebration of 3 Weeks 4 Dreamwidth is a poem by W. H. Auden with one of the most amazing first lines ever.

Musée des Beaux Arts by W. H. Auden

About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along

How, when the aged are reverently, passionately waiting
For the miraculous birth, there always must be
Children who did not specially want it to happen, skating
On a pond at the edge of the wood:
They never forgot
That even the dreadful martyrdom must run its course
Anyhow in a corner, some untidy spot
Where the dogs go on with their doggy life and the torturer's horse
Scratches its innocent behind on a tree.

In Brueghel's Icarus, for instance: how everything turns away
Quite leisurely from the disaster; the ploughman may
Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry,
But for him it was not an important failure; the sun shone
As it had to on the white legs disappearing into the green
Water; and the expensive delicate ship that must have seen
Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,
Had somewhere to get to and sailed calmly on.

If you like it, I would definitely go to this page and you can listen to different readings of it (which is amazing) but I would recommend the reading by Ralph Fiennes (you can select with a drop down menu). It's REALLY wonderful.

And finally, this Youtube that includes a reading with three paintings by Brueghel which is what Auden was looking at/getting inspiration from, which is also amazing.

April is National Poetry Month in the US, and on my journal I try (and fail often) to post something poetry related on Thursdays because Thursday is Verse day (and I can remember it--sometimes).

stonepicnicking_okapi: okapi (Default)
The Hermit can mean a period of solitude or isolation, walking one's own path when it's necessary even if it's lonely. A card of self-reliance. And the promise of wisdom gathered from a time of Hermitage. It can suggest aromanticism or asexuality or abstinence from sexual and/or romantic relationships for other reasons, depending on the querent.

stonepicnicking_okapi: leaves (leaves)
I know we're already 2/3 into October but I am finding this list of Whumptober prompts to be especially inspiring.

stonepicnicking_okapi: after the funeral (afterthefuneral)
Your October tarot prompt is: The Tower!



The tower means destruction and chaos, but Cassandra Snow in Queering the Tarot points out to her clients that it only brings down things that are built on shaky foundations. It can also mean bringing down things to rebuild something better. But the rebuilding is a different card, so this is just the tearing down.
